Trader Joe's Creamy Peanut Butter, Salted, 454g

It doesn’t take much to make delicious, perfect-for-a-sandwich peanut butter. That’s the reason it’s always surprised us that the “big names” in peanut butter add all kinds of sweeteners and additives – simple really is better. TJ’s Creamy Salted Peanut Butter is simple, and simply scrumptious. There are two ingredients inside every jar: peanuts and salt. That is all.

Using peanuts from the southeastern United States, TJ's supplier produces Creamy Salted Peanut Butter exclusively for them in Georgia. The peanuts are dry roasted and ground with the skins still on – this really enhances the flavour of the finished peanut butter. Unlike some other peanut butters with added partially hydrogenated oils, ours does not solidify – the oils do separate from the solids. A quick stir, and refrigeration after opening, are all you need to rectify this. For your “trouble,” you’re rewarded with peanut butter that actually tastes like... peanuts! It’s a wonderful thing to taste. Make a classic PB&J, or take a cue from Elvis and swap the jelly for bananas and bacon. If you have a taste for Hemingway, try tasting it the way Papa did, paired with thick onion slices.
